'Creating A Balance Between Leaders And Managers,' A Video Interview With Tim Durkin Now Available On Convey - The Business Knowledgebase

by Bruce Ahern

(WireNews+Co) - Denver, CO - 18 September 2012

Tim Durkin, author and leadership management professional, discusses the unique differences between managers and leaders in this thought provoking interview featured in the 2012 Speaking & Coaching Insights Catalog on Convey — The Business Knowledgebase (http://www.conveycontent.com).

In healthcare, organizations are overflowing with managers, but according to Tim Durkin, they are significantly lacking in true leaders. From his perspective, you need both leaders and managers in any organization, but firms must find the right balance between the two.  In particular, his encouragement to healthcare is to strive to correct the imbalance by identifying and developing more leaders within their organizations.

“I work with management and leadership teams and add to the leadership and management training that they already have,” said Tim Durkin. “The people in healthcare have almost no leadership or management training, yet they are being required to lead and manage during the most turbulent times in our history.”

“Tim has the valuable skill of being able to understand the leadership needs of employees throughout the organization,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Copper Services. “This skill is crucial in developing internal leaders who can understand the impact that training and coaching has on ultimate success.”
